Chapter 163 Director Wang's Performance Class(1/2)
As soon as Wang Zheng finished speaking, a rather arrogant voice rang out: "Boss, I know, I know!"
Looking in the direction of the sound, Nangong Tiezhu was holding up an arm, and in the eyes of everyone's exploration, he was like a primary school student who longed for a teacher to ask questions.
Wang Zheng glared at him fiercely, and then he withdrew his raised arms in disappointment.
"Director Xu, as a third-level literary powerhouse, you must be able to see one or two of them from the script."
As his eyes turned, Wang Zheng looked at Xu Kang with a smile. Xu Kang suddenly glared at him. This young man obviously wanted to make things difficult for me.
However, the third-level literary powerhouse is worthy of the third level. After a little pondering, Xu Kang talked:
"Although I have never been exposed to filming, through research on the script, I feel that this movie should be countless times shorter than the TV series, but it is also countless times more detailed.
Even meticulously crafted every picture and action. If I guessed it well, the filming time will definitely not be less than the filming time of the TV series."
Papa, Wang Zheng clapped his hands without hesitation and said:
"The dean is worthy of being the dean, and his answer is basically correct. As President Xu said, the rhythm of the movie is more compact than that of the TV series. Therefore, in the filming of the movie, unless necessary, the performance space for the actors is very small. Because the performance space is small, the film requires higher acting skills."
"What is performance space? It means how much performance a actor can play out in a limited time.
You may not understand this very much. Anyway, we have plenty of time, so we will do a simple on-site teaching here.
Miss Xiaoqian, come out."
Wang Zheng, who was talking, suddenly looked at the female ghost Xiaoqian, which made Xiaoqian a little at a loss. But in the end she walked out under Wang Zheng's encouraging gaze.
The female ghost Xiaoqian, who walked to the open space, looked at Wang Zheng in a daze, while Wang Zheng smiled kindly: "Miss Xiaoqian, sit down."
While saying that, Wang Zheng gave Ma Yi a look, and a stone pier was quietly formed beside the female ghost Xiaoqian under Ma Yi's magic.
Xiaoqian stood beside the stone punzi, looked at Wang Zheng in surprise, and asked carefully: "Young Master Wang, is it just sitting there?"
Wang Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, sit there casually. In addition, everyone in the crew will call me the director."
Xiaoqian nodded, and then after simple thinking, she sat on the stone pier in a graceful and charming atmosphere as usual.
After doing this action, she glanced at Wang Zheng and saw that Wang Zheng had no reaction, so she continued to sit down.
After sitting for about a minute, she became a little unnatural in front of everyone. She didn't know what to do. She seemed very uneasy and didn't know what to do.
Wang Zheng saw that Xiaoqian was cramped and said with a smile: "Okay, no need to act anymore. I believe everyone understands it. I only told Xiaoqian to act, but didn't tell her other information. She felt confused and very unnatural when she acted. This undoubtedly wasted precious time in the movie."
When the rest of the people heard this, although they didn't understand what Wang Zheng was selling in the gourd, they also nodded slowly. After all, Wang Zheng's words made sense.
At this time, Wang Zheng, who saw everyone's reaction, continued:
"So, in a limited time, or even in a cramped time, the character's personality, psychology and even the entire environment can be rendered in reverse through movement and expression. This is what the performance space means.
If you want to make the performance space as well as possible, you must understand a concept called the three elements of action.
What are the three elements of action? It is what to do, why and how to do it.
Take the action of sitting as an example, ‘what to do’ is to sit on a stool;
Why’ is why you have to sit on a stool, you have to have a purpose, such as reading;
‘How to do’ is the concreteization of ‘what to do’. For example, if I sit down and read a book, I have to sit down and then open the book to read.
Among them, "how to do it" is the most important thing. Many times, acting is to act "how to do it".
Remember, actors must convey the plot and shape the image through actions, and actions cannot be separated from the three elements of action!
Now I will add another condition, dress up. Xiaoqian, you are sitting and dressing up!"
Xiaoqian pondered for a moment, lowered her head and began to pretend that she had a comb in her hand, and slowly began to comb her long hair like black hair. She was very serious every time she combed, as if she was immersed in her daughter's daily makeup.
Wang Zheng clapped his hands and signaled Xiaoqian to stop:
"You guys see it. With the action of reading, Xiaoqian's performance became much more vivid, which is because of the three elements of action.
As you who are about to film, the script you get will not describe the specific actions. You need to design it yourself or follow the director's advice. Such action design can only show the skills of an actor.
Anyway, a good actor can really make a play come true.
Take Xiaoqian's performance sitting and dressing up as an example. Her performance just now was too simple. We can design more movements to make the whole performance more vivid.
For example, when we comb our hair, we can design that there are a lot of fallen hair wrapped around the comb. No matter how Xiaoqian deals with these hair, it can make the movement more maple;
We can also do more complex designs, such as when dressing up, there is no one around, and Xiaoqian suddenly thinks of a playful hairstyle.
Thinking of this, Xiaoqian will have dual activities in her heart and expression, react, and her performance will become more abundant.
Xiaoqian, now I will re-enact, and I must bring more actions this time.”
Xiaoqian thought for a long time, and suddenly reached out and made an action of placing a mirror. Accompanied by Xiaoqian's actions, the dark ghost energy formed an oval mirror shape.
After fiddling with the mirror for a few times, Xiaoqian then looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, and then showed a satisfied smile.
Through this action, everyone understood at this moment that Xiaoqian was very satisfied with her appearance.
Through Xiaoqian's simple action, many people have already nodded thoughtfully, and they have understood the meaning of action and performance.
A few seconds later, a innocent and childlike smile suddenly appeared on Xiaoqian's face. After looking at him as if he was guilty, he began to toss his hair in a cunning gaze.
Soon, her hair became a playful discovery.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Xiaoqian showed a satisfied and childlike smile.
Seeing this, Wang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Xiaoqian's acting talent was really beyond his expectations.
You know, Wang Zheng watched these things for a long time in the crew, asked several people who understood them, and even sneaked into the school to listen to them before they understood them.
But when Xiaoqian put it on her, she learned it through her simple prompts?
It’s really a pissing comparison between people!
However, Wang Zheng was not out of the surprise in his heart, but suddenly reminded:
"Now grandma is suddenly in!"
When Xiaoqian heard this, she immediately yelled, then used her magic power to her hair, shook her head gently, and three thousand black hairs suddenly slashed through the air, as if black ink was poured in white water.
The beauty is radiating, and the picture is so beautiful.
Under the influence of magic power, the originally playful hairstyle turned into casually dispersed hair. Xiaoqian looked at the direction where her grandma was and spoke:
"Grandma, why are you here?"
Xiaoqian's tone was a little panic, a little blame, and more shy.
Seeing this, Wang Zheng smiled and applauded:
"Very good! Xiaoqian, go down! Everyone sees it! They are also sitting, they are monotonous and boring at the beginning, but the second time, the movements become more vivid; the last performance is full of fun in life!
In fact, to put it bluntly, filming is to express the elements required for a story through language, expression, expression, body, coordination with the environment, others, soundtracks, etc. as much as possible."
After saying this, most people nodded thoughtfully, and it turned out that this is the reason.
Even Xu Kang, a third-level literary powerhouse, couldn't help but shout:
"Okay! Well said! I won't say that I haven't noticed these small details in life yet. It turns out that there are knowledge everywhere in life."
Wang Zheng nodded with a smile, and then continued:
"External actions, characters' language, and even the entire course of action are important factors in the performance. Only by mastering these can you say that you will initially perform what you want.
But this is not enough. The most important reason why life is life is emotion. But if you cannot express emotions, the whole performance will be more stiff, just like a marionette."
"But director, we have never experienced many emotions, so how can we express them?"
As soon as Wang Zheng finished speaking, Xiaoqian looked at Wang Zheng with a desire for knowledge and asked with a frown.
If you haven't experienced it, you will naturally not experience such emotions. Regarding Xiaoqian's agility, Wang Zheng nodded in praise, and then said with a smile:
"Xiaoqian said it well. We have not experienced many things because of our limited experience, so we naturally don't understand what kind of emotions we should have.
However, for this situation, we can solve it with emotional alternatives."
"Emotional Substitution Method?" Many people were chewing on this strange name.
Wang Zheng nodded and then continued:
“Emotional substitution, as the name suggests, is to find corresponding emotions to replace them.
Many things cannot capture the corresponding emotions without experiencing them, and they are not realistic enough to perform them.
But I can't let the actors experience it and experience that feeling, right? For example, Xiaoqian, if you want to meet your lover, I can't catch you, right?"
Wang Zheng's words immediately caused a burst of laughter, which also made Xiaoqian's pale pretty face flushed. Looking at the simple Xiaoqian, Wang Zheng continued to say:
"What should I do? It's very simple, find a similar relationship to replace it. Xiaoqian, what's your mood when you're about to meet your lover?"
Xiaoqian pondered for a while and said with some uncertainty: "Excited, excited, I wish I could fly to him right away?"
Wang Zheng nodded and said, "It's right, it seems that he has a lot of experience!"
Xiaoqian stomped her feet when she heard this, blushed and protested: "Who is more experienced? Director, don't talk nonsense!"
The genius believes that if you are confused by Zhu Ming, who is richer than you?
Wang Zheng continued to explain:
"Xiaoqian said it right just now. A girl is about to see her lover. She is excited and full of expectations, and she wishes she can see him immediately.
To be continued...
